PREFATORY,
BY THE EDITOR.
MY Object in this Edition of Mr. Calef's Work is similar to that in Dr.
Mather's in the preceding Volume, namely, to give a perfectly accurate
Reprint of the Work; so that whoever has Occasion to use or consult
it may do so with entire Confidence. I have therefore reprinted the
original Edition of 1700, with such Notes as was judged might be useful
to a certain Class of Readers. And having mentioned the Notes, I will
say of them here all I have to say about them. There may be those who
have no need of such Additions. They can pass them by unheeded; but it
was thought generally that a few Explanations and Additions would be a
Help to the Party consulting the Work. They have been made as brief as
was thought consistent with the Subject.
